Program 1

Our Character Development Program is a dynamic, multi-media, nine month curriculum for use in schools. The program uses stories of character to attract student interest and then brings the student to focus attention on his/her own character traits.
The program has completed pilot testing, is in a limited roll-out to junior highs and middle schools comprising 19,000 students, and is set for national distribution for the 2003-2004 school year.
The students benefit from examining their various life choices, the schools benefit from increased building of character among its students, parents benefit from the character fruits born in their children, as do future employers of those students.

Program long term success

Character program now reaches nearly 60,000 students weekly
